Dear Karen, Kurt, Jonathan and family,



I was shocked to hear of Mark's passing. I heard about it from a neighbor and flashed back to the baseball bowling outing we bowled together at years ago. Mark and you were much like Nena and I, now more so. Please let me know if there will be a memorial service, as a life like Mark's is worth celebrating, and I want to be there. As you know, baseball has a way of bonding people (some of my best memories are from Arquilla Park and Hickory Bend) and Mark made great memories happen for many others. My, Adam and Aaron's thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of transition. Family and Faith in Him will sustain you all.



Love,



Joe Keefner
